The beginning of the spawning campaign at the scientific and experimental aquaculture complex "BIOS" of the Volga-Caspian branch of VNIRO

 

For early production of larvae, in mid-February, Russian sturgeon producers were brought to pre-spawning holding. The obtained and fertilized eggs are incubated in "Osetr" type devices.

 

After hatching, the Russian sturgeon prelarvae will be transferred to the closed water supply system of the pool workshop for holding until the transition to exogenous feeding and then grown to juveniles with an average weight of 3 and 10 g. Upon reaching the required weight, the juveniles will be released into the natural environment to replenish the population.
